Tips:
- Make sure the tilapia fillets are completely dry before applying the seasoning. This ensures that the spices adhere properly to the fish.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best results. It retains heat well and helps achieve that perfect blackened crust.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the tilapia. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even blackening.
- Keep an eye on the cooking temperature. The skillet should be hot enough to char the spices but not so hot that it burns them.
- Serve the tilapia immediately after cooking for the best flavor and texture. Pair it with fresh lemon slices for an extra burst of citrus.
Blackened tilapia is not only quick and easy to make, but it's also incredibly delicious, offering a perfect balance of spice and zest.
